Primitive Bench



The primitive bench we bought last weekend fits comfortably behind the vintage rattan sofa in the living room (loving room). The sofa is covered in an old chenille spread because of our puppy. I have always been drawn to primitive benches and all primitive pieces. Perhaps it is because my dad bought me a primitive bench. I can count on one hand the items daddy bought me in my adult life. That is my own chippy chair from when I was a toddler. All sweet memories my friends.



Joy and Peace
Olive

    We have a bench similar to yours, except that ours is a bit clumpier and the legs a bit thicker.(Was left here when we moved in) It's always referred to as 'the pig bench' because it was used to dress a pig after it had been slaughtered. (don't even like to think about it). Love your little chair.

    Precious memories! I have a small primitive wooden bench on my front porch that my Dad showed up with one day. It is so dear to me and always brings a smile to my face.

    You are finding the best little treasures! A girl can never have too many benches. That can be a table or a nice place to sit. Love it!

    This is absolutely gorgeous Olive. I love the bench and it looks great in that space. I love the chenille spread too, perfect for a puppy. I have one of my mom’s old chenille spreads that I treasure.
    Happy Spring

    I love that bench! It has such a great shape to it. I like some primitives and that is one of them. I like it being used behind the sofa too.

    Your childhood chair shows off the bench in its best light. I had a vision of a little girl sitting there right before I read it was yours. Now I'm psychic, apparently... I love that big chopping board too- couldn't help seeing it. Ann
